Abstract

KRM is seen wringing out the wet Shu cloth using a sturdy wooden stick during the felting process at Garam Chashma. The scene captures the traditional method of applying pressure to remove excess water from the wool fabric. The cascading water and taut fibers emphasize the manual effort and precision required in this heritage craft. The backdrop of stone walls further highlights the rustic and authentic environment of the felting process in the region.
